There is a host of Premier League and Champions League action on the bill tonight and we have all bases covered.
There are features aplenty ahead of Arsenal’s game against Liverpool and Tottenham’s trip to Brighton.
We also put Chelsea under the spotlight ahead of the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie in Lille as well as previewing Juventus’ finely-balanced clash with Villarreal.
Premier League action
The standout game comes in the Premier League as two form teams in Arsenal and Liverpool go head-to-head.
Recent weeks have seen the Gunners move firmly into the driving seat for the top four, with goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale continuing to impress.
We take at look at the stopper’s fine form and assess whether he is ready to replace Jordan Pickford as England’s No1.
Spurs’ hopes of a Champions League return are fading, though a victory on the South Coast against the Seagulls could lift them to within three points of their North London rivals.
Consistency has been the issue for the Lillywhites of late — but not for right-back Matt Doherty, who is currently enjoying his best run of form since joining the club in 2020.
After a goal and three assists in his last three games, we take a closer look at the Irishman’s recent revival.
Champions League drama
Chelsea have plenty of problems off the pitch at the moment but have their Champions League last-16 tie with Lille firmly under control after a 2-0 first-leg win.
With Roman Abramovich’s assets frozen by the UK government following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it remains to be seen whether the Blues will be able to welcome any new signings to West London this summer.
But with a host of stars impressing on loan this season, will their return to Stamford Bridge be their saving grace?
Juve have a bit more work to do if they are to seal a place in the quarter-finals having drawn 1-1 with Europa League champions Villarreal in the first leg.
In that game, it took striker Dusan Vlahovic just 32 seconds to score his first Champions League goal following the highly-rated Serb’s January move from Fiorentina.
If the Old Lady are to progress, it seems the 22-year-old will again be at the forefront of the action.
Manchester United’s trophy drought is set to stretch to five years after being dumped out of the Champions League by Atletico Madrid last night.
We pick out five low points from another humbling night at Old Trafford as Renan Lodi’s first-half header proved decisive.
Transfer Talk
There will be plenty of keen observers watching Thursday’s Europa League action as Sevilla head to West Ham following their 1-0 victory in the first leg of their last-16 tie last week.
French defender Jules Kounde played the full 90 minutes of that clash and will look to impress once again at the London Stadium.
With the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool rumoured to be admirers, we take a closer look at the 23-year-old.
And the latest gossip from the transfer world has linked ex-Chelsea star Eden Hazard with a move to London rivals Arsenal.
Our daily Transfer Talk column will bring you information on that potential move plus plenty more.
